Pirates of the Caribbean – Love : It's Just Another Game We Play
By Princess-Pirate

Summary: The sequel to FEELINGS TOO DEEP TO ADMIT TO YOU.

Pirates of the Caribbean turns 21st Century. Will, Lizzie, Jack and the rest of the POTC crew are all College students in my modern day story of their lives. Will is in a coma due to an injury suffered by protecting Elizabeth. Now everyone is trying to pick up the pieces of their lives.

Pairings: Jack / Anamaria, Will (?) / Elizabeth and a lot of other characters.

Disclaimer: All the characters, ships, and places in the Caribbean belong to Walt Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer (I wish). Some of the new characters are my own creations and therefore I have some ownership over them. The shopping centre is one in Cape Town; SA and I also don't own that name.

Warning: Rating will go up for blood, gore and suicide. Beware also for plotting and backstabbing galore.

A/N: Please read and tell me what you think. First read FEELINGS TOO DEEP TO ADMIT TO YOU, otherwise you may not understand what is going on in this story. All reviews and ideas on coming chapters are most welcome.

"Now you get some rest" Jack said as he tucked Elizabeth in under the blankets.

"I can't sleep Jack" Elizabeth said.

"You need to" Anamaria replied. "You also have an appointment with the psychiatrist in the afternoon."

"I don't want to go" Elizabeth argued.

"You need to love" a voice said from the door and they looked up to see Mister Swann standing in the doorway.

Elizabeth nodded and smiled sadly at her father before lying down and relaxing into the pillows.

Jack covered her again and then all of them left the room.

"How are you two holding up?" he asked Jack and Anamaria.

"We are hanging on," Jack said.

"Any news on William?" he asked as they sat down a while before Jack had to go and drop Anamaria off at Isabella's place. He needed to go and visit Elina as well and didn't want Anamaria to get more upset than she already was.

"He's still in a deep coma" Jack replied as he looked at Elizabeth's father. "The doctor says that he is responding to treatment but his head injury was quite severe. The swelling was the problem that caused all of this, including the bleeding of his tissue."

"Elizabeth is taking it pretty hard" Mister Swann said as he looked up the stairs and Jack nodded.

Their friend was a shadow of herself. She rarely ate anything and spent most of her time at Will's bedside.

Jack had went to all their professors and explained the situation. In agreement they attended what classes they could and went in only for tests, doing the rest of their duties at home. Elizabeth had been excused from her classes since she was way ahead and head in her class. Will had already graduated with his marks before this entire nightmare started. Jack and Will's father had cried when Jack went to give Will's diploma to his father.

But Will was strong and he was a fighter. He would pull through and Jack made himself the promise that he would stay by his friend's side not matter what happens. He would always be there for Will.

Anamaria took his hand and he nodded. Saying goodbye to Mister Swann he and Anamaria left the house and drove back to town.

Winston Memorial Hospital

"Good afternoon Mister Sparrow" Doctor Peterson smiled as she saw the young man coming down the hallway.

"Afternoon doctor" Jack smiled. "I was just coming to check in on my pals."

Doctor Peterson nodded and smiled as she looked at her notes. "Well, Miss Jones is being released today. You can come with me. I just need to check up on her."

Jack nodded and followed the doctor down the hallway.

"Hey Elina" Jack said as he smiled at her.

"What a cool surprise" she said as she looked at them. "I'm going home today" she stated confidently.

"That's great news" Jack replied as he looked at her. "I'm going to wait outside and then I'll take you home, if you need me to."

"It's okay" Elina said, "Bobby is coming to fetch me. I would really like it if you and Elizabeth can come around tonight for coffee. I really need to talk to someone."

"We'll be there," Jack said as he walked out the door. He looked up as he saw two people walking down the hall from ICU.

"What are you doing here?" a voice sneered.

Jack looked annoyed at the two people in front of him. Amelia and James Norrington Senior, James' parents.

"I came to visit my friends mam" Jack replied properly.

"You have the nerve," she said, "After what that boy did to my James."

Jack's temper flared as he looked at the two snobs. "Your James wasn't that innocent either Mrs. Norrington" he snapped "It's because of him that my best friend is in a coma, never to wake again and the woman he loves needs counseling to overcome her grief and pain. So look at your son first before insulting me and my friends."

The Norringtons looked on in shock as Jack corrected his jacket and walked down the hall to go and visit Will.

A/N – So what do you think? Sorry it's so short but it'll get longer, promise. I also started college last week and I thought that I would have some time to write but tests and assignments are making my life a living hell. I'll try to update now as soon as I can, promise. If anyone still wants a character in the story then please let me know ASAP. I need to get my drafts finished for the new story. Here are the names I have so far:

Already introduced:

Amarie, magical elf a.k.a Isabella Gonzales

scarlettxoxo a.k.a Leia Duncan

mellowyellow36 a.k.a. Elina Jones

JohnnyDeppfan0609 a.k.a. Rachel Lewerence

A Sly Fan a.k.a. Marina Rodriguez

Amarie, magical elf a.k.a. Amelia McKenzie / Lindsay Ferrari

Still coming (That I know of):

Anywien a.k.a. Tilja Woodbourne

I am so sorry if I have forgotten to thank anyone else or write your character in but things are going hectic at the moment. So please just let me know and I will rectify it as soon as the next chapter comes up.

Kuro Queen of Hell – Here's another chappie as well.

Anywien – As you can see, you're being considered already. Glad you like the story.

Amelia Pearl – Thanks. Not many people liked the way I'm finishing James. I got a rather rude e-mail direct to my Yahoo account and I really didn't like it. I hate it when people don't have the guts to post their opinion where others can see it. I'm just glad that you and all my other reviewers like the story.

Thanks a lot. You guys really make writing worth while.
